Switch_Back

This was VirginMobile's first full QWERTY keyboard. It has a reasonable price of $60 for a QWERTY phone with no annual contract and $20 a month unlimited text messaging. It is small and compact and fits comfortably in some one's hand. The screens are relatively small and the phone overall can be slow. Also the phone can freeze so that the battery must be removed when sending or receiving a picture message. This happens about 10% of the time. This phone is great for teenagers who need a spending limit and adults who don't want to be bound to a 2 year contract or can't afford the expensive minimum of $40 a month from most major service providers. Here is a cnet review: http://reviews.cnet.com/cell-phones/kyocera-switch-back-strobe/4505-6454_7-31661186.html?tag=prod.txt.1


Unfortunately this phone has been discontinued and replace by the Kyocera WildCard.

MacBook

MacBook is probally Apple's highest selling prduct next to the iPod family. Having a small, vibrant 13.3" glossy widescreen it is very small and compact. It also boasts a durable polycarbonate shell. It gets faster with every generation. This generation has up to 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. The MacBoook is a true laptop with up to 6 hours of battery life and AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi. This allows you to go almost anywhere with it and for a considerable period of time. The RAM goes up to a whopping (for a Mac) 2gb. Also equipped with the MagSafe Power Adapter and the two finger scrolling capability, the MacBook is something every college student needs. Two of the boggest things that have captured people for decades are the magnetic latches and the built in (woww) iSight Camera. Bonjour! Bonjour seperates the wireless networking from a Mac and a PC. With Bonjour you only have to hit "yes" or sit back and watch it do all of the work. Nowadays everything is wireless. Wireless IM, wireless printing, and now with Apple's new Time Machine, wireless data storage. For the media freaks, the new MacBooks host wireless music streaming and wireless movie rentals. No more driving to BlockBusters for a movie rental all you need it iTunes and DSL or higher. The new MacBooks sport a wide variety of new features. To experience them visit you closest Apple Store!!!

Apple iPod Touch

The iPod Touch is the iPhone without the phone, Bluetooth, or camera. It has wi-fi built in and because of that you can buy music from your iPod!! The iPod touch can play music, movies, tv shows, photos, and a safari web browser. It has a 3.5 inch screen (diagonal) just like the iPhone and it also sports a 22 hour audio playback life. In January, Apple released the first Upgrade for the iPod which gave customers 5 new apps. The 5 new apps: mail, maps, stocks, weather, and notes. Apple charged $20 for the upgrade for existing iPod Touch owners but if you are buying the iPod Touch now then it is free. Mail works with almost any major email system. Stocks allow you to check the United States Stock Market and keep track of them right on your iPod. Weather syncs to Yahoo Weather and you can have as many cities as you would like on your iPod for the weather. Notes is like a miniature Word processer except it can't print or sync onto the computer. The price for the 8gb iPod Touch is $299, the 16gb is $399, and the 32gb is $499.
